G’day Blogworld,
Still alive here in Gouldiae-land. Busy as
all heck but this morning I ducked out to that piece of private bush at Dawson
again. I’ve been keen to keep an eye on a Wedge-tailed Eagle’s nest on the
block and John gave me the heads up that he’d seen a pair of wedgies in the
vicinity when he was cutting hay recently. Nest was quiet but the wedgies did
appear while I was under the tree. At first they didn’t see me but the moment I
moved to get a better view with the camera they were off.
I’ll keep trying on that one I think.
I’ve never known a block of bush to be so
full of Rufous Whistlers. They were calling all morning from all over the
place. I’d estimate at least 4 pair in the vicinity.
Unusually, I ticked a Pallid Cuckoo by
sight before I heard it. I don’t recall hearing its call all morning.
White-winged Trillers were busy too. I
think I’ve only ever seen one or two individuals at a time in the past but this
morning there was at least half a dozen birds chasing one another in the tree
tops.
Back to the watering.
Regards,
Gouldiae.
